System for At-Home Monitoring of Pressure and Flow Characteristics associated with Biomechanical Implants
There are numerous medical issues which are treated with simple biomechanical implants that regulate fluid pressure and flow (e.g. valves and shunts). Because there are moving parts to these implants, they are vulnerable to complications, malfunctions and biological/mechanical/parametric failures. Currently, the only way to determine if a biomechanical...

Passive Wireless Multi-Channel Stimulator
Passive, wireless stimulators have received significant interest due to their ability to provide therapy and rehabilitation by targeting an organ with monophasic or biphasic stimulation pulses. Wireless stimulators are advantageous because they reduce the risk of infection and inflammation by eliminating wires that protrude through the skin. Extending...

Self-Powered Fishing Net Lighting Modules for Bycatch Reduction
Background Small-scale fisheries cumulatively account for about half of the production of the fishing industry. These coastal fisheries commonly use gillnets, which are low cost, high yield, and easy to maintain. Unfortunately, gillnets result in considerable non-target species (bycatch) mortality which can negatively impact local ecology and fishing...

High-resolution Flexible Neural Implant
Optogenetics uses light stimulation to control the excitation, inhibition, or signaling pathways of optically excitable cells and provides a powerful tool to diagnose and treat, as well as understand, numerous neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders. Modified neurons can be activated or silenced by different light frequencies. However, the...
